John Woo makes an explosive return, discover the trailer for “Silent Night”

John Woo returns six years later Manhunt

It’s been a long time since we last saw each other John Woo to his favorite. However, the Chinese director also left his mark on the minds of viewers with his Hong Kong action films (The Crime Syndicate, The killer) compared to his American productions (Behind-the-face, Mission Impossible 2). His very particular style, which above all makes his characters iconic, means that we also appreciate some of his less beautiful feature films. For him, for example, we have a particular affection Broken Arrow (1996).

From that moment on, although the director’s last film, Manhunt (2017), it was nothing memorable, about which we cannot hide a certain expectation Silent nightwhich marks the return of John Woo next six years of absence. Nothing says it will be a masterpiece, but trailer revealed (video in article) set the tone!

Joel Kinnaman very angry in the trailer of Silent night

Silent night We will see Joel Kinnaman embarks on an explosive revenge spree. As we can see in the trailer, the actor The suicide squad (2021) plays a father destroyed by the death of his son, collateral victim of a shootout between two gangs. Then he decides to do it find those responsible and kill them all, until the very end. Nothing particularly original on paper. Except John Woo adds an interesting detail to his revenge film, viz don’t use dialogue.

A concept we saw recently with the thriller Kicked (ON Disney+), and which seems justified here by the wound to the hero’s throat who prevents him from speaking. Joel Kinnaman seems inhabited and nervous as we like it. While John Woo has fun violent and bloody shootings. And if the director manages to add a flight of doves in slow motion, we will be delighted!

It does not currently exist no release date in France For Silent night. In the United States, audiences will be able to discover it in theaters on December 1st. Also, remember that John Woo already has another project with The killerthe remake of his film which this time will be carried out by Omar Sy and Nathalie Emmanuel and whose production has begun.
